I think there might be an automatic product
association missing when you define multiple suppliers
for a product. Take the following scenario:
Company sells widgets. His productId is GW-1001. He
has three suppliers for this product, two
manufacturers and one reseller.
Manufacturer A's productId is MA-1332
Manufacturer B's productId is MB-89320
Reseller's productId is RS-12903
Shouldn't these each create PRODUCT_SUBSTITUTE
associations between each of the three supplier's
product Ids and the Company's productId as well as
create a new productId if it doesn't exist? (The only
immediate downside would be duplicate productIds for
non equivelent products, which could be resolved by a
prefix or suffix on the external productId) What
other precautions should be made?
